A Welcome from Society President - Stuart Goldie

"Welcome to The Bleu du Maine Sheep Society's new web site where I hope you will find all the information you need.

"The new Society web site is very user friendly. You can quickly track down breeders in your area by accessing the members' list along with all the pedigree information you might need via Grassroots. Just follow the links and if you have any unanswered questions please contact our secretary Jane who will always try to help you. Thank you for visiting the site."
